In this life, Zhuang Li still followed his lover and left.
They were holding hands and lying quietly on the bed. When the assistant found them, their bodies were already cold, but they had happy smiles on their faces.
When the news reached the outside world, the whole world was shocked. The national leader even gave a speech personally on television to mourn these two heroes who made outstanding contributions to the country.
Most of Zong Zhengming’s achievements were state secrets and could not be discussed on TV, but Zhuang Li’s achievements could not be summarized in a single speech.
He personally opened the door to China’s intelligent era, enabled China to achieve a great revival, and changed everyone’s life.
Huarui Manufacturing stopped production for one day to express condolences and projected Zhuang Li’s famous saying in the sky in the form of 3D images: “A first-class enterprise should have the ability to change a country or even the world.”
Everyone who passed by the Huarui Manufacturing headquarters building would stop, look at the line of words in the sky, and then smile with pride.
There was no doubt that Zhuang Li did it. He changed the country and the world.
….
In a distant different time and space, a tall man was picking up another equally tall man with one hand, swinging his fist and hitting the other man hard in the face.
The beaten man had green scales all over his body, a long tail hanging from his buttocks, two venomous snake-like fangs sticking out of his mouth, and his cold vertical pupils showed a look of fear.
He opened his mouth as if to beg for mercy, but unexpectedly the man punched him hard again, breaking his teeth.
All his words were lost in the sudden pain.
The man did not stop, and punched the scaly man again and again, until he turned him into a ball of flesh. The fierce force of his punches smashed a big hole in the hard ground, and the slowly opening cracks spread in all directions like a spider web.
The team members standing by and watching immediately moved away from the land, fearing that a collapse accident might occur later.
Ever since the scars on his body began to heal one by one, the captain’s strength had been constantly increasing.
In the past, he had been very decisive in dealing with his enemies, killing them when he could, in fact beheading them when he could, without any hesitation. But today, his mood was very abnormal, and after waking up from his dream, he was like an angry lion, constantly looking for enemies to vent his anger.
The man he was beating was called Demon Snake, a SSS-level mutant who had strangled many taskers and was one of the overlords of this area.
The team members originally thought that the outcome of the fight between the captain and the Demon Snake would be fifty-fifty, but they didn’t expect that after only two rounds, the Demon Snake’s limbs were broken, it was thrown to the ground and was beaten into a pulp by the captain’s punches.
“The captain is not right today!” a team member whispered.
“It must be because he didn’t dream!” Another team member said firmly: “If the captain doesn’t dream about sister-in-law for one day, he will be very irritable when he wakes up.”
“No, he dreamed about him.” The yellow-haired boy interrupted, “Today, when he woke up, he shouted ‘Zhuang Li’, and then he jumped up with a scared expression on his face. I suspect he had a nightmare, dreaming that his sister-in-law was in danger or something.”
“How can you take things in dreams seriously?” The team members sighed and shook their heads.
“Why don’t you go and tell him not to take dreams seriously?” The yellow-haired boy pouted at the furious captain.
Everyone shook their heads and waved their hands, firmly refusing.
Are you kidding? The captain is now living for those dreams. How dare they tell him that dreams are fake? Isn’t it good to keep some hope in this hopeless world?
During the discussion, the man finally kicked the body of the Demon Snake aside, wiped the blood off his face, and said coldly: “Did you see that? In the future, you must not be soft-hearted when facing the enemy. If you can kill them in one go, don’t leave them alive.”
The team members only agreed and did not dare to speak.
The man lowered his head and licked a wound on his wrist. He pursed his thin lips and watched it slowly disappear with gentle eyes, turning into a pink scar.
….
When Zhuang Li opened his eyes, he found himself standing at the corner of a building. A handsome young man was holding up a mobile phone and playing a recording. His sharp eyes looked straight at him with contempt in his expression.
Zhuang Li reached into his trouser pocket and took out a cell phone. He then lowered his head to look at the body and found that he was wearing a casual suit. The workmanship was not exquisite at all but rather looked like a mass-produced uniform.
He raised his eyes to look at the handsome boy and found that he looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old and was also wearing the same small suit. So he realized that this should be a school uniform.
He looked around and found several teaching buildings, a basketball court, and a sports field.
The campus was a relatively safe place. Realizing this, Zhuang Li slowly relaxed and listened to the recording played by the boy.
The recording was a conversation, and one of the voices was exactly the same as Zhuang Li’s, so it must be the original owner.
He was talking in a resentful tone, “Feizai, I really can’t stand it anymore. I want to escape from this home. My mother only cares about Teng Xuan and doesn’t care about me at all. I have been doubting whether she is my real mother recently.”
Feizai: “Of course she is your biological mother, you think too much. If she doesn’t treat Teng Xuan better, Uncle Teng will have a problem with her. She is also doing this for your own good. If the Teng family didn’t pay for your tuition, would you be able to go to a good school like Chongming?”
“Feizai, you are wrong. Even without Uncle Teng’s money, I could still go to Chongming. Do you know how good my grades were? I ranked first in every exam. If I wanted to go to Chongming, I could be recommended and get a full scholarship.
“But my mother wouldn’t let me get first place or take my transcript home. The reason was ridiculous! She said that every time I got first place, Teng Xuan would secretly cry, so she asked me not to upset him.
“You know how furious I was? It’s my own ability that I got first place in the exam. Teng Xuan’s grades are not good, so why should I accommodate him?”
Feizai: “I think you are exaggerating more and more. Teng Xuan has always been a well-known academic genius, and he has always been the top student in every subject. How dare you compare your last-place grades with others? You are still letting him win. Stop being ridiculous!”
Original owner: “I’m not kidding. If I hadn’t let Teng Xuan, would he have been admitted to Chongming with the first place? Would he have represented the school in those math, physics, and chemistry competitions? I just don’t want to compete with him. You don’t understand the feeling of living under someone else’s roof.
“Now I just want to grow up quickly, become independent quickly, and leave the Teng family quickly. I don’t want to give in to Teng Xuan anymore. Everything he has should belong to me.”
There was another long section in the recording, which was all the original owner complaining about his mother’s favoritism and the Teng family’s indifference.
Zhuang Li was no longer interested in listening. He took out his cell phone and quickly hacked into the Internet. Using the clue of “Chongming High School”, he easily found the original owner’s academic information. He then found his home address, relatives, growth experience, etc.
The original owner’s parents divorced a long time ago, and his father was missing. His mother was named Zhuang Xin, and she married a wealthy businessman named Teng Wei. The wealthy businessman also had a son named Teng Xuan, who was the same age as the original owner.
The young man who was playing the recording was Teng Xuan, whose photo was on his student records. He and the original owner were nominally brothers.
In addition to the complicated family relationships, Zhuang Li also found out something very interesting.
When Teng Xuan received this recording, he was live streaming on the rooftop with three friends. They were a small group, all of whom had prominent family backgrounds, handsome looks, and unique temperaments, so they were very popular on the Internet and were also the campus princes of Chongming.
The live broadcast was in progress, and Teng Xuan actually played this recording openly.
So fans from all over the country heard the original owner’s arrogant and ridiculous words.
Teng Xuan posted his report cards and certificates on the Internet every year. His excellent grades, which were almost full marks, had earned him millions of fans. He was the “other people’s child” in the eyes of adults and the unattainable “academic god” in the eyes of children.
The original owner always ranked last in every exam, and his scores in several major subjects were only a fraction of Teng Xuan’s. How could he have the nerve to say that everything Teng Xuan had was given to him? He was too ignorant, wasn’t he?
Teng Xuan’s three good friends were so angry that they laughed and said they would teach the original owner a lesson in front of millions of fans.
Teng Xuan was afraid that they would resort to violence and cause a bad social impact, so he quickly stopped them.
Just at this moment, the hacker who secretly sent the recording to Teng Xuan took screenshots of the original owner’s online diary and sent them to Teng Xuan one by one.
Teng Xuan’s screen was connected to the live broadcast room, so through these diaries, netizens across the country could see the original owner’s inner thoughts.
In addition to fantasizing that he was a genius student who could easily crush Teng Xuan if he worked hard, he even coveted Teng Xuan’s three good friends.
He often hid in the dark and secretly watched the four of them playing. After returning home, he silently wrote down his feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred, and always praised the other three guys in an ambiguous tone about how handsome they were.
It was said that there were a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.
Some netizens thought that the original owner’s peeping behavior was obscene, disgusting, yet pitifully humble; some netizens suspected that he was gay and a nymphomaniac and actually fell in love with Teng Xuan’s three good friends at the same time.
Netizens said whatever they thought, and comments such as “nymphomaniac, homosexual, Sea king” filled the entire live broadcast room.
Seeing these comments, Teng Xuan’s three good friends suddenly had an idea and made a bet to pursue the original owner and broadcast the whole process live. School violence was wrong, but wasn’t it okay for them to use emotional offensive? In the end, when they revealed all the truth, the original owner’s expression must be very funny.
The vast majority of the four-member group’s fans were minors who had no basic legal and moral awareness. However, they were fanatically interested in the proposal and repeatedly urged them to act quickly.
So now, Teng Xuan came, holding up his phone to play the recording. At the same time, his henchmen were hiding in the corridor upstairs, secretly filming this scene, they had connected it to the live broadcast room, allowing everyone to appreciate the original owner’s ugly appearance.
The four-member group was extremely popular and had attracted tens of thousands of people to watch online.
All the students in Chongming High School knew about this, but they helped the four-member group to conceal and even tease the original owner. They also wanted to participate in this fun and exciting game. They never thought about how cruel it was to treat such a young soul as a doll and force him to show his most embarrassing side in front of the world!
Being tortured in public was just like this! The torture of the heart was more despairing than the tearing of the body.
If Zhuang Li had not come, the original owner who knew nothing would have been angered by Teng Xuan and said even more irrational words and then welcomed the favor of the three male gods in a depressed mood.
They would take care of him, be close to him, protect him, and then, when he was immersed in the illusion of happiness and looking forward to a new life, they would stab the cruel truth into his heart.
They would let the original owner know that he was not worthy of all the good things, nor was he worthy of being compared with Teng Xuan, and he was even less worthy of being a human being. He was the most ridiculous doll in the world, and the most despicable dirt on earth. Being played with and trampled on was his fate.
Teenagers aged 16 or 17 had strong self-esteem and were at their most vulnerable. The original owner would collapse if he was teased like this and it was even broadcast live for the whole country to watch!
Zhuang Li pressed the phone to his chest, closed his eyes and asked, “System, did the original owner commit suicide in the end?”
7480: “…”
Shivering! What on earth is wrong with the child of destiny in this world? He is even more disgusting than a murderer! Die, I don’t care!
T/N: How disgusting do you for even an AI to realize that you deserve to die!!!???
